this took time even though it was kind of short and a kittle too much

I think schools should teach students about tupac because it shows you that you can go from being nothing to something everybody has a voice they could use no matter what people say about you. The struggle is a beautiful thing there’s two paths though the path to corruption and violence and then there’s a path to making a positive influence, being a leader. It may feel like a big role but Tupac shows that everybody should be treated equal. Even if you grew up with nothing like him even if you grew up on the street and your mother was drug addict, or you didn’t have enough money for food or water there’s other ways of handling your problems and tupac fought for everything he wanted and worked hard for it. the man wants us to be addicted and hooked on drugs, they wanna see us fail, The smallest change can make the biggest difference
